An engineer investigated how the current through a newly designed tungsten micro-heating element varied with the potential difference applied across it.

a.

Write down the equation which links current (III), potential difference (VVV), and resistance (RRR).

[1]
b.

Use the graph below to determine the resistance of the micro-heating element when the potential difference across it is 6.0 V6.0\text{ V}6.0 V.

I-V Curve of Micro-Heating Element

c.

The digital multimeter used to measure the potential difference had a zero error. Explain what is meant by a zero error.
